The two had been the top vote-getters from a field of 13 on the Nov. 4 ballot to replace Mark Golding. Golding resigned amid charges he received payment for death investigations he did not perform, later pleaded guilty to a criminal information and is serving his sentence.

Bad weather, plus its being a holiday week may have conspired to keep voter turnout low – something that is often the case anyway in a special election with only two candidates.

Only 23 percent of the registered voters participated in the Nov. 5 election; the runoff drew a much even smaller turnout of less than 13 percent.

Boman led the field of candidates in the Nov. 5 special election, receiving 22.5 percent, while Anderson was second with 17.5 percent.
